I have also heard this is very difficult to learn, and might not be
worth the effort.

As I understand it, the individual knots are very simple,
but the trick is to make them precisely sized and placed.
Designs are built up and can be quite pretty, but overly
simple work seems to have given it a bad name, to the
point that the word "tatty" became a description of
something old, worn out, and probably stained, and
"tat" became a noun meaning "miscellaneous useless junk".
All of which is rather sad, because good tatting is
beautiful, delicate, and lacy.
Years ago I knew a computer programmer who did tatting
while waiting for test programs to run.
